After a high-scoring 3-3 draw in their previous Indian Super League (ISL) game against Punjab FC at home, Bengaluru FC are now set to host Mumbai City FC in what will be the former's sixth and the latter's ninth match of the league this season. (Football News)
While Bengaluru have one win and four draws from their eight games so far, Mumbai City are back from a dismal AFC Champions League campaign, which ended on Monday, December 4, 2023, after the team lost their sixth match in a row to finish at the bottom of the Group D table. Playing their final match of the competition against Uzbekistan’s Navbahor, Mumbai City went down 1-2 in front of a home crowd in Pune.
Though their morale would have been hurt with the setback at the prime Asian event, Mumbai City can take heart from the fact that they have fared much better in the ISL this season (so far), and have three wins and two draws from their five encounters.

Meanwhile, there have been reports suggesting that Melbourne City assistant coach Petr Kratky will soon take charge as Mumbai City FC's new head coach. The club has not had a head coach since Des Buckingham returned to his boyhood club Oxford United last month. Assistant coaches Anthony Fernandes and Hiroshi Miyazawa have been in charge since, and that arrangement will continue for the game against Bengaluru FC.
